According to a source, Prince Harry feels that the royal family “needs” him back for an important reason. The claim comes amid renewed scrutiny of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s position within the monarchy. The non-working royals have been making news headlines yet again following their children’s recent school move, amid their ongoing security debate.
Prince Harry reportedly feels the Royal Family will certainly need him back
According to RadarOnline.com, Prince Harry reportedly remains convinced that the royal family may eventually need him again. This is despite a recent Palace statement that firmly dismissed any prospect of his return as a working royal.
The Sussexes returned to the UK last month with their two children, seven-year-old Prince Archie and five-year-old Princess Lilibet. However, their homecoming has already sparked tensions, as King Charles reiterated that their status remains “akin to private citizens with commercial and charitable interests.”
However, a royal insider claimed: “Harry’s attitude is that nothing involving the monarchy should ever be regarded as completely irreversible. He knows perfectly well that he cannot simply arrive back in Britain after six years and expect everything that happened around Megxit to be forgotten, but he also doesn’t accept that there can never be a meaningful place for him again.”
They further explained that, in the Duke’s view, the royal family will face immense pressure in the coming years with too few members to share the workload. Harry believes his global profile and extensive experience in public engagements remain valuable. He also feels that his long-standing connections to charities, veterans and organisations around the world continue to hold weight.
The source pointed out, “He thinks there may eventually be a realization that those things have value to the monarchy. In short, he thinks the royal family still needs him.”
However, the insider noted that Harry does not expect his father to scrap the Sandringham agreement and reinstate him as a full-time working royal. What he does seem to think is that arrangements could become more flexible over time. There may be moments when involving him would be more practical than exclusion.
